Abstract:

This paper applies contingent valuation method to analyze the resident’s willingness to pay for restoration and preservation of groundwater in Shijiazhuang city, Hebei Province, China. The result shows that residents’willing payment per family is 69.28 to 99.83 RMB per year. The regression analysis indicates that the family income, educational level, and concern extent on underground water environment are largely related to the willingness. Hence, to increase resident’s willingness to pay lies in increasing income, improving consciousness of water environmental protection and adopting view of “who benefits, who pays”.

Key words: restoration and preservation of underground water, willingness to pay, contingent valuation method, Shijiazhuang city

摘要：

本文重点分析了用户承受能力对地下水保护与修复支付意愿的影响，运用条件价值评估法，对石家庄市居民为地下水保护与修复的支付意愿及其影响因素作了初步分析。计算结果显示，研究范围内的居民年均支付意愿约为69.28~99.83元/（a·户)。回归分析表明，居民家庭年均收入、教育水平、对地下环境的关注程度等因素对支付意愿有显著影响。本文认为增加收入、提高水环境保护意识、引入“谁受益、谁支付”观点是提高居民支付意愿的有效途径。
